How POTATOES GRoW'-Most seeds
grow by absorbing moisture, then
swelling and putting forth a germ and
roots to sustain it. Hence they re-
quire some dampness in their seed bed.
But the potato is not a seed. Its first
nutriment is from the starch stored In the
| set and planted not essential to start.
ing potatoes but 1t IS even detrimental.
If potatoes are covered with dry earth
they will come up quicker than they
will if covered with that which is wet.
This is partly because dry earth in
the same temperature of air Is warmer,
When a potato has been cut the sur
face OF the wound must dry over before
the eyes will start. If planted freshly
cut in very wet ground potatoes often
rot, especially if this is early while the
soil is cold. But as soon as the germ
is above the surface, or even before,
fine roots start from the base Of the
eyes and catching hold Of the fine soil
soon do away with dependence or plant
food stored IN the set. If the soil is
rich and in fine filth the seed may he
safely cut much smaller than where
it is poor and cloddy.

GENTLEMEN;-In April, 1888, l was los
trated by a severe attack OF indammatory
rheumatism and was confined to my bed four
months. / was attended by the best medical
skill, but rapidly grew worse until I was re-
dueed to a mere skeleton.
Til disease had gone to my lungs and to the
region of my heart, and I was finally given
up by the physicians, who said I could live
but a few hours at most, and that all they
could do was to make me as easy as possible
by killing the pain by frequent injections of
morphine. 1 was finally advised by a friend
to take DR.. Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy.
Upon being asked as to giving it to me, the
physician said: II have no faith in patent
medicines, but give it to him; it will nothurt
him.
L was then 50 near dead that my limbs were
cold below the knees, and a numb sensation
began to creep over my body, and 1 suffered
with great pain in my chest and about my
heart. After | had taken the first few doses
l experienced more pain than before, for it
seemed to drive the pain from the vital parts
toward the extremities. l continued to take
it according to directions. Four days after
the physician who gave me up called to see
me, and said was much better. In about
four weeks could sit up; I then gained
very fast and became us well aseyer.

The Etruscans, from a very remote
epoch, possessed the arch and the vault.
The East used the arch long before it
was known in the West. There are
chambers around the pyramids and
temples at Thebes that are rooted by
stone and brick arches Of a semi-elrcular
form. A curved form of roof in the
third pyramid at Gizeh indicates that
the Egyptians used the arch as early
early as the fourth dynasty, 1000, B. q.
At Benz. Hassan, on the bank OF the
Nile; curvilinear forms appear IN the
roofs 5000 b. q. The city gates at
Korsabad we're SPAWNED bybeautifui and

blue enameled brick, with figures and
stars in warm yellow. This shows
that In the time of Sargon the arch was
well understood. There is an old say
ing that the arch never sleeps and is
constantly tending to destroy the
building, especially If aided by earth
quakes and the roots of trees. Stll,
the great advantage of coy' ny large
spaces with small stones or biick Is SC
great that it was very extensively used

FARM OTE

KILLING BUSHES IN FTELDs.-Au-
gust is a favorable month for killing
bushes that interfere with the mower
Or plough. There Is generally more
leisure to attend to the business than
earlier or later IN the season, They
may be cut easily at this time, as the
wood has not become thoroughly har-
dened. They will be less likely to
sprOut than If cut in the spring or very
late in the fall. Willows are likely to
send up sprouts If they are cut at any
season of the year. The best way to
destroy them, il they are tolerable
large, is to cut the bark just below the
branch, and to strip it down to the
ground, where it should be allowed to
remain exposed TO the sun until 1t
becomes thoroughly dry. The bushes
may then be cut close to the ground,
thrown over the roots and burned.
Sometimes the roots are so near the
surface that they a be readily grub
bed out. AT other times, however
they penetrate the soil for 80 great a
distance that it is very difficult to dig
them out. The easiest as well as the
most effectual way to destroy hazel
bushes is to cut them off close to the
surface of the ground and to devote
land to the sheep pasturage. II no
portion OF the stems remain above
ground they will throw up but few
sprouts, and these may be easily cut
off with a scythe if they are not eaten
by sheep. A bush-scythe, as it is or
.llnarily employed, is not a good i'm
plement to use for cutting bushes. 1t
does not cut them sufficiently close to
the ground. A short stump remains
which throws up sprouts. A carpen-
ter's adze is an excellent implement
Tor cutting bushes. The handle should
be adjusted so as to shave the ground.
1t may be used to good advantage after
The ground is frozen.

On the IStbmUS,

New YORK, May 25.-Advices from
Panama on the 10th inst. say: In one
of the largest, longest and deepest cuts,
high up above the prospective canal
work, water has been struck. The
amount of earth and rock taken out of
the section referred to cost millions of
dollars. All the work represented by
these millions is to-day valueless, as
the water has washed from the side of
the mountain more than sufficient to
fill the cuts. Smallpox is raging along
the upper banks of the Amazon. So
say the traders who cross from the head
waters into Ecuador and the southern
portion of Columbia. 1t is the deadliest
disease which affiicts Indian tribes liv-
ing on the borders of those streams.
When the disease declares itself the
persons attacked are abandoned by all,
and general shift of encampment is
made, either on foot or by canoe. Whole
villages are deserted, and the sick die
helpless and alone, while those who flee
suffer equally from the perils and hard
ships attendant on the river travel and
from hostile tribes.
